Grasshopper 0.9.0060 available for download.

Grasshopper 0.9.0060 is now available for download. This release attempts to fix a very annoying loading issue involving Recent Files on network drives.

Please note that the Python component probably won't run on this release, there was a breaking change in GH_IO.dll which will probably require a Python update.

You can download the installer from the usual location.

If you cannot run the *.rhi file by double clicking it, rest assured, this is a known bug in Rhino5 SR5. You can fix it by going into the Windows Control Panel and repairing the Rhino5 installation (see below). This will correctly re-associate RHI files with the Rhino Installer Engine.

New features in this release:

Added Move To Plane component for putting objects onto a plane (Transform.Euclidean dropdown).
Added Box Mapping component for moving geometry from one box into another (Transform.Affine dropdown).
Added Rectangle Mapping component for moving geometry from one rectangle into another (Transform.Affine dropdown).
Added Triangle Mapping component for moving geometry from one triangle into another (Transform.Affine dropdown).
Added (unfinished) Box Slits component for cutting sliding gaps into intersecting boxes (Intersect.Shape dropdown).
Added (unfinished) Region Slits component for cutting sliding gaps into intersecting regions (Intersect.Shape dropdown).

Bug fixes in this release:

Import Coordinates did not work, this is fixed.
Synchronize option on File Path parameter had the wrong icon, this is fixed.
Dash Curve would sometimes fail on valid inputs, this is fixed.
Autoconversion from surfaces, breps, boxes and meshes to numbers was incorrect, this is fixed.
Jump objects always belonged to the same jump group, this is fixed.
File data retrieval for MRU GH/GHX files could take a long time over a network, this is fixed.
Writing large collections of persistent data to a GH/GHX file would take a long time, this is fixed.

As long as the installations are all intact it should be totally possible. All you have to do is load the right one prior to calling the _Grasshopper command.

Thank you David.

All versions are under the same ID which seems to prevent a simple *.rhp drag-and-drop load prior to executing the _grasshopper command.

For lack of knowledge on how to otherwise change which version's directory is associated with the _grasshopper command, I've been re-running the *.rhi of whichever version I want at the time in order to go between 57 (for a fully functional GhPython) and 60 (for the new tools) and it works just fine.
